Jamie and Jools Oliver are expecting their fifth child together.

Jools, 41, who recently spoke about their desire to grow their family, is currently pregnant and is expected to give birth in August.

Celebrity chef Oliver, who made headlines this week when he backed the Government’s so-called ‘sugar tax’, is yet to comment on the new addition.

The couple already have four children; Poppy Honey, 14, Daisy Boo, 12, Petal Blossom, six and Buddy Bear, five.

Speaking to Style magazine last year, Jools said: “There's this Moses basket I designed... [that] I haven't been able to test personally yet. It would be nice to put it to use.”

Back in 2013, chef Jamie spoke about the possibility of adding to their clan, saying:

“It's quite hard to have time for each other when you have four kids so I don't want another excuse for me and Jools not to have time together.

“If she really, really wants another one then she might get her way, but I am very blessed with what I've got.”
